What are you Wearing

By

Today's Scripture
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
(Colossians 3:12, MSG)
What Are You Wearing?
As a parent, sometimes you pick out clothes for your children to wear. Our heavenly Father has picked out something for us to wear—kindness, compassion, humbleness, being disciplined. When you’re kind, people are drawn to you. When you’re good-natured, friendly, and humble, opportunities will come your way. People want to do business with people they like. When we’re hiring someone, a person’s résumé tells us what their skills are and what they’ve done, but we always meet with them to see what their attitude is. Are they positive, friendly, kind, and considerate? They can be extremely talented and have incredible potential, but a bad attitude will keep them from rising higher.

Studies show that your attitude will have a greater impact on your success than your IQ. Your attitude can make up for a lack of experience, a lack of training, and a lack of talent. Make the decision every day to live in faith, to be hopeful, kind, and humble, and then watch how your life will start improving.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that though I can’t change my present circumstances or my past, I can control my attitude and make adjustments to keep it fresh and positive. Thank You that I can be dressed in kindness, compassion, and humbleness. I’m going to live today with a great attitude. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
